Saul Canelo Alvarez managed to overcome Gennady Golovkin in the trilogy bout between the two. The Mexican has emerged as the winner, but at the same time continues to have his critics.
For various reasons, a fighter as complete as Canelo, who has already proven his worth by beating tough opponents in various categories, still fails to convince some fans.
One of the best boxers of the last decades, Roy Jones Jr., a former world champion in four divisions including heavyweight, has been keen to give credit to the career Canelo Alvarez is building.
RJ considers that the Mexican takes more risks than people think, something that incidentally can lead him to lose fights like the one against Bivol.
In addition, ‘Superman’ also repairs the damage that caused Mayweather’s undefeated record and how his career began to revolve around this fact.
“Now boxers don’t challenge each other anymore, so I was delighted when Canelo challenged himself,” the former boxer said on DAZN.
“A lot of fighters don’t do that anymore. They are afraid of the ‘zero’. Since Floyd (Mayweather) made that 50-0 and made a lot of money, they think if they lose the undefeated they also lose the chance to make a lot of money.
“But, surprise! Even if you win, most boxers won’t be able to make such amounts of money.”
